Juliette Binoche’s evolution from breakout star to world-cinema legend is mirrored neatly by her roles in a pair of provocative backstage dramas. In 1985, Binoche burst onto the scene with her fearless performance as an aspiring actress ruthlessly chasing fame in André Téchiné’s dark tale of art, sex, and stardom RENDEZ-VOUS, coscripted by Olivier Assayas. Thirty years later, Assayas directed Binoche in CLOUDS OF SILS MARIA—a kind of spiritual companion to RENDEZ-VOUS—in which she plays a renowned, middle-aged actress plagued by insecurity as she prepares to star opposite an up-and-coming Hollywood ingenue in a remake of the film that originally launched her career.
